MUSING: Women’s Sports Now Featuring Hulk-ified Barbie Dolls


Ever since the dawn of humanity, when the first caveman challenged his buddy to a rock-throwing contest, sports have been a testament to human physical prowess. Yet here we are, 2024, and the humble beginnings of sports seem like fairy tales compared to the circus we have now.


First off, let’s clear the air: discriminating of any kind is not only wrong. but also, frankly, ridiculous. If a man wants to to wear a dress, put on lipstick and put pretty bows in his hair, that's his business. This is a no-brainer.


But ideals often get a reality check, and nowhere is this clash more evident than in the world of sports. Biology 101: typically, men are stronger, taller, and faster than women. That’s why we have separate categories in sports—because at their physical peaks, men and women are simply built differently. No, that’s not sexism; that’s science.


When gender boundaries get fuzzy, though, things get interesting. If a woman transitions to a man and competes in men’s sports, she’s taking on an impressive challenge. However, the reverse scenario—the Incredible Hulk joining the Barbie Dream Team—throws the whole notion of fair play out the window. Suddenly, it's less about who trained harder and more about who has the genetic upper hand.


So, what’s with all the drama over politicians pointing this out? Take Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, for example. He's getting flak for supporting a bill that bars transgender females (born male but identifying as female) from competing in women’s sports. Critics are screaming “hate-driven!” at the top of their lungs.


Once again, we witness the power of woke overreach. Claiming that true equality involves skewing the playing field to absurd proportions is not just nonsensical; it’s a counterproductive loop-de-loop that even the most seasoned roller coaster enthusiast would shy away from.


So next time you catch the latest “women’s” sports event featuring an athlete who could bench press a small car, remember: this isn’t about hate or intolerance. It’s about keeping the spirit of competition fair and square, even if it means not every athlete gets to live their superhero dreams on the field. Because, let's face it, reality should have some bearing on how we play the game.
